You can see the before shot. Nice update to the building. But then pan around and look at what the street view has pictured across the street! It looks like a trash dump, bags and bags of garbage. Also this is between 3rd and 4th Ave. Isn’t that better described as Gowanus? 1.5 sounds cheap but looking a little deeper doesn’t sound like that great a deal….

West 9th Street is on a mediocre block right by the BQE, in the floodplain (with a basement master bedroom) and directly across the street from the proposed Scarano homeless shelter. Still seem underpriced?
